after party tidy up

she's covered in oil after the oil tank drain plug came out, fortunately the engine didn't seize as I'd shut down coming up to a roundabout, Sean found the bolt at the start of the oil slick, Jason was carrying a gallon of morris 20-50 oil and Sumo suggested we use the fresh cut grass on the verge to wipe the oil down

JB-Weld

the gearbox is out again to fix those leaking studs and fit a new main shaft drive seal

Oversize Bush

and fix the selector that has quite a wobble after 30 years

Oil tank Drain Bolt

and drill the bolt so it can be wired, so no more accidents

 it has a dual function and supports a third bracket - not a good idea.

(the tank was already painted by this time)

the bracket stops the tank swinging on its two upper mounting bungs where they can fracture.

a little polish and back she goes

battery tray and rear caliper next - that oil got every where

oh, and the front rocker box has decided to leak big time.

tea time treats

that loctite would come in handy
